Re: Importing portions of info from each record from csv to ACT?

Also, if using sync, doing mass wipes of the fields will likely make the sync so large that it times out... itImport Pro version has the ability to only update the field if it's changes, thus reducing the actual changes

Re: Importing portions of info from each record from csv to ACT?

The only other option is to (1) create a backup first. (2) In ACT, delete the contents of the fields you want to update (assuming they are not the ones you are using for duplicate matching). (3) Set the import options to Merge if the records match and run your import. This "fills in the blanks", i.e. if a field is blank it will update it with the imported data, other fields won't get updated.

However if you are going to do this on a regular basis I would do what Mike suggests and buy the importIT add-on.
